From Conservapedia

Hanover (German: Hannover) is a city in north-west Germany. It is the capital of the German state (Bundesland) Lower Saxony (German: Niedersachsen), a state created after the Second World War out of the area of the Prussianprovince (German: Provinz) of the same name, as well as of Oldenburg and Brunswick.

The current British royal family is descended from the Elector of Hanover, who became King George I in 1714. His dynasty adopted the style 'House of Hanover', which lasted until the marriage of Queen Victoria to Prince Albert in 1840; the dynasty was then known as the 'House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha' until 1917, when the present style, 'House of Windsor' was adopted.
